Deleting array elements in JavaScript - delete vs splice

Question

What is the difference between using the delete operator on the array element as opposed to using the Array.splice method?

For example:

myArray = [\         


        

Answer 1

function deleteFromArray(array, indexToDelete){
  var remain = new Array();
  for(var i in array){
    if(array[i] == indexToDelete){
      continue;
    }
    remain.push(array[i]);
  }
  return remain;
}

myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
deleteFromArray(myArray , 0);

// result : myArray = ['b', 'c', 'd'];
